I am not 20 years old any more.
I can actually volunteer too much.
If I volunteer too much I make for a shitty volunteer and end up having minimal fun on what is supposed to be my vacation.

anyone get a video of the burn? I was working a gate shift so I missed it.

Jeers to Calliope. Their dance art car wouldn't do that car part until Wednesday, so they just decided to make it an in city club....at 4:00 and A.

It's a good thing they go ti fixed because I'm fairly certain the neighborhood was about to hold a spontaneous correction of attitude for them.

Indeed, shouting the sun down has been a tradition for a long time and one that many people are trying to keep going.

I honestly wasn't aware that such information was necessary.

It's a 10x10 pup up from gander mountain with side wall attachments.

I'm looking for opinions about tent stakes for my shade structure I'm not looking to use rebar. My tent last year came with some nice high quality 12" steel stakes that worked very well. My shade structure that goes around my tent does not have as high quality stakes. I'm looking to purchase some be...

Arriving 08.23.14 leaving 09.01.14 at some point 7 cans of various Progresso and Chunky soups that I like (lentil/andoullie sausage, jambalaya, chicken/sausage gumbo, black bean...) A box of pop tarts 2 boxes shelf stable bacon 1 Jar pickled veggies and garlic 1 hormel spinach ravioli (shelf stable)...

Savannah, I'm fully on board with you, trust me on this. This all arose from researching the issue with my camp. Try as I might I couldn't find the penalty anywhere. I'm fully on board with the "just get the damned permit or make sure anything we pass out is factory sealed." Sadly one of my camp mem...

Got mine today...now just crossing my fingers for my co-pilot to find one to buy.

While I expect the snarky answers here, this is an honest question.

I also wasn't talking about not following health code guidelines, I was talking about what is the penalty for not having the permit, and permits don't protect us from hep or gastrointestinal distress.

I'm curious, and I've looked for this information but cannot find it.

Say a camp was caught serving food in violation of the health regs and without a permit.
What is the penalty?

It looks like we've finally hashed out our schedule. All events happening on the Wednesday prior to the Man Burn Session 1 (10a - 2p) Battletech: Solaris 7 Lost Days of Memory and Madness (see below) Mechanized Special Operations Company: Captain Pump's Raiders (A Sort of SciFi Mercenaries type game...

Anyone know where 11:11 is gonna be?
Last year they were on 3:15 and H, hoping to not have to scour the playa to find them again.

Why don't you just say "I do" on the playa in front of a shirtcocking "preacher" wearing a top-hat and fill out all the boring paperwork in a courthouse when you get back? You can, but a legal wedding anywhere in the US requires a license *followed* by a solemnization. Not in Colorado or any other ...

you get placement?

If so, where can we find you?

To be clear to everyone, this is a con devoted to Tabletop Role Playing Games. No video games, no one in our camp even has a generator. We considered board/card games but decided that there was too much moop involved. We're finalizing our game list right now, once that is done I'll post the games we...

I've also heard rumors that Co plates are getting additional scrutiny at bordering states but it smacks of urban myth to me. I may or may not have more info when I return from out west. There's some stretches of Wyoming that people are getting a little more attention than they used to, but the cops...

I as guessing the answer for early entry is no, although I am still confused about when to actually arrive for the line at the gate that opens at 10 AM Sunday. I do not expect to be in front. I do not want to be sent to Lot "D". I just want to know when is an acceptable time to get to the line on S...

Excellent, I became frenemies with the Hate Bar at Apogaea, and I look forward to their particular brand of filth in our vicinity.

If you decide to not go....and you're from Seattle, find someone in the knitting camp with the initials K. R./burn name Crash.
Tell her that you've got a ticket to sell and she has a friend in Colorado who wants to buy that ticket.

If you are then Captain Pump and his band of merry Raiders have got just the event for you! Wednesday, 08.28.14 in the middle of Burning Man, deep in the dust at 4:15 and Antioch from 10 AM to 10 PM you can participate in what is (as far as we know) an event unlike any seen before in the history of ...

Captain Pump's Raiders just got our placement email. We'll be at 4:15 and A. I think we're all in a bit of shock, last year was our first year as registered and placed and we were at 3:15 and E and damned happy about it, I don't think we'd counted on getting a jump one block off the Esplanade in our...

I'm a bit dismayed at the Q&A linking to prior years. Was there seriously not a single new question asked this year?

(beware, I'm a card carrying kilt inspector) :mrgreen: I'd just like to put this here, and it's actually the appropriate forum for it. First off, there are no "rules" for wearing a kilt, one could get into the use of the language around kilts ("commando" and "regimental") being slang invented by th...

What about something like this: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/guide-gear-18x18-teepee-tent.aspx?a=884278 I was thinking about the Kodiak or springbar. The entrance is not flush to the ground which might make it unworkable with the chair. This on the other hand has the height and the entranc...

Why not Monday and Tuesday? And yes you did it right, thanks for sharing. Monday I arrive, and I'm fairly certain that as a first timer I'm just gonna be a little too overwhelmed to do lamplighters that night. Tuesday I'm DJing at Arachnaph0bia in the Whiskey and Dust camp, so that's out. Wednesday...

Did I do this right?

Bah, plans already shifting...I was planning on volunteering with lamplighters on Wednesday, but now I wanna do the MnG.
Maybe lamplighters on Thursday?

canexplain, are you going to the Fusion Factory this weekend?

Oh no, I've been having the "oh shit I'm going" feeling for almost a month now. I was planning gear purchases when I realized that we were 90 days from hitting the road. My friend and campmate who is also a multi-burn veteran and my carpool buddy alternates between thinking my excitement/panic is cu...

Got my tracking number at about noon.

I'm excited to finally make it after wanting to for 11 years.
